Legislation and Governance

Vote against question 6 in Maryland to keep marriage defined as the union of only one man and one woman!

Earlier this year, the legislature passed and the Governor signed The Civil Marriage Protection Act redefining marriage for all Marylanders, legalizing same-sex marriage in our state and stripping the roles of men and women from marriage making it a genderless institution. The Maryland Marriage Alliance, a coalition of pastors, community and faith groups, and citizens, has qualified a referendum to allow voters to decide if they want this legislation to take effect. On November 6, Marylanders have the opportunity to vote AGAINST Question 6 and preserve marriage as the union between one man and one woman. If Question 6 is not voted down same-sex marriage will be legal in Maryland beginning January 1, 2013. Read more at Maryland Marriage Alliance

*President Obama cut all funding (Providing $0 of funding) for already-funded 5 yr grants for abstinence-centered programs totaling over $100 million. in fiscal 2010. Obama says 'And what I have consistently talked about is to take a comprehensive approach where we focus on abstinence, where we are teaching the sacredness of sexuality to our children. But we also recognize the importance of good medical care for women, that we’re also recognizing the importance of age-appropriate education to reduce risks. I do believe that contraception has to be part of that education process.' Romney says: 'We have sex education in our schools. Let's also have abstinence education in our schools. Marriage and two parent families are fundamental to the development of children and to our success as a culture. We cannot afford to shrink from the timeless, priceless principles of human experience."
